This little French press works great and packs down nicely. I have used it a few times since I recently purchased it and have had great ground free coffee every time.
Adding to my ever growing collection of FM made gear, this stove is an excellent example of the quality, thoughtful design, and flexibility of use of a very versatile and powerful stove - usable in a variety of conditions and terrain, and output requirements. Highly recommend
All the measurements and instructions are marked on it so you don't have to keep track of paper instructions or need to measure things out with separate containers. It makes perfect rice. The only downside is the time it takes to cook rice and that's not the fault of the cooker. I guess another downside could be that it only makes one portion so if you're cooking for two people, you may need to make two batches. If you really like rice and don't want to use instant rice, get this.
Light weight, boils fast, holds a medium gas container. Unfortunately no measuring marks which are generally needed for freeze dried meals.
Good build, convenient, lightweight. The only thing is that pouring water through holes is too slow, while pouring without lid is dripping water all over. This may be a skill issue but having a small spout would be nice.
Absolutely amazed with how good this powerhouse of a backpacking stove performed in extremely windy conditions.
Location tested: Highest Campsite in Texas (Bush Mountain, Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
Weather: Low 30's, wind gusts 50-60 MPH during stove utilization, 60-70 MPH over night.
No need for a wind barrier, worked so good we even used it as a campfire/outdoor heater while we ate our dinner.
I've owned several fire maple products, this is by far my favorite.
The system worked perfectly. I bought the adapter to use 1 lbs. propane tanks. I used it to make coffee, ramen noodles and oatmeal in a deer blind. It was a nice change to have something hot on cold days.
This is a good camp stove and works like it should.
The stove offers great flexibility for the campsite, using is as a skittle, wok, griddle or just a pot. The construction is sturdy and the flame very controllable. The legs seem well constructed and everything is fits together well. I’m very happy with the purchase.
Have two sets of cook ware. Really needed the kettle. I take these in my motorcycle panniers just enough for light weight camping. Cheers Peter
The only thing I’d hope improved is how the lantern rattles in the case. I get worried it may crack, but all is good so far. Nice quality and look.
I first used my FireMaple Maverick Stove (square) on a cold, rainy night when a large fire was out of the question. Due to the size of this stove, I was able to use it under my Jeep's awning, sitting on an aluminum stool. Once the wood burned down to coals, we dropped a couple of burgers on and they turned out amazing with the wood smoke flavoring we all love! I was also impressed with the openings on 2 sides that allow for adding wood while cooking.
My only issue with the stove is that you need to be very careful with the grate as it does not "lock" into place and can move around when flipping the burgers. Also, with the fold in the middle of the grate, take extra caution using a spatula or tongs to avoid any collapse.
I love that the portion is just enough for 1. While that is a disadvantage if camping together.... well, the other person needs their own kit!! Test run worked as advertised.
Love it... lighter than I thought it would be and it packs pretty small. Well made and the discounted price really made it a bargain.
This little table takes up very little room in my cook pack but has become very valuable to me when setting up my kit. I now have level room for my food prep, billy pot, water bottle, cups, etc, And it keeps my stove secure and steady.
I was able to boil 450mL of water in 7 minutes on my first try (wood was dry). It made me quite happy.
Makes great coffee fast. Also having the pouring problem. Anyone have a fix for that yet?
No any issues - very light good quality spork. Fork cuts are not so deep, keeping spoon actually usable.
Super quick on bowling water and stay cool handles work great you’ll have to worry about burning yourself and I like where you can strain and the handles keep the lid on it when you put it back in your backpack
I was looking for a reliable and solid stove for quite a while when I saw the Fire Maple Sale and a stove having all the qualities I wanted.
Strong support , a nice wide wind resistance burner , electronic lighting , Remote canister and packs up nice and tight in a small storage case. But most of all has a reputation for longevity. The FMS-125-PRO is the one was lookin for and now have. Plus I even had a savings.
To set my mind at ease about it getting here and that I would have it to use I purchased the insurance on shipping. It arrived in good shape and now is a part of my camping gear.
Loved the table! Easy to fold and slim to fit in any bag!
Good size (fits canister, a lot of goods), simple yet durable design. Awesome for its price. Bot it as universal pots for company when petrel G2 is not enough volume.
